Education in Tanzania
Our Mission
Our goal in working with Kili Centre is to use the XO's to facilitate the re-entrance of orphans and street children back into the local public education system. With the help of the XO's and our working knowledge of Kiswahili language, we are hoping to develop the English language capabilities of these children to a level required to progress through the Tazanian school system.
Team Members
Our team will consist of Brittany Woedl and Amy Andreas, May 2009 graduates of Indiana University. We both are majoring in international studies with a regional concentration in Africa and have a minor in Kiswahili language. We studied abroad at the University of Dar es Salaam in 2007, so we are very familiar with life in Tanzania and should have little trouble communicating to the children in Kiswahili.

Kili Centre strives to support the education of all of these children in local schools so that they can grow up to be productive citizens in the community.
